To determine if 1476 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1476.
If the factors of 1476 are only 1476 and 1, then we know that 1476 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1476 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1476 is only divisible by 1 and 1476, then it is a prime number, and if 1476 is divisible by more than 1476 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1476 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36, 41, 82, 123, 164, 246, 369, 492, 738, 1476
Therefore, since 1476 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1476 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1477 prime or composite?
